Head strongly produced between the eyes; vertex and front opaque, the latter 
impressed with a faint longitudinal fovea. Antenne rigid, equal in length to the head 
and thorax; six lower joints short, cylindrical, the five upper ones forming a distinct, 
slightly compressed club; five lower joints piceous, the rest fulvous. Thorax conic, 
scarcely broader at the base than long; sides converging from base to apex; sub- 
cylindrical, hinder disc transversely excavated, coarsely and closely punctured. Elytra 
parallel, obtusely rounded at the apex; the hinder angle produced laterally into an 
acute, triangular, nigro-piceous tooth, the apex of which curves slightly backwards, its 
upper surface carinate ; sides rather strongly serrulate, the serrations more irregular 
on the apical margin; each elytron with eight regular rows of large deep punctures, 
the second, fourth, and sixth interspaces costate; humeral callus strongly elevated, 
‘cristate.

Vertex and front smooth, impunctate, the former with a faint fuscous patch. Antenne 
scarcely longer than the head and thorax, robust, thickened towards the apex.; joints 
short, cylindrical ; apex of the club slightly compressed. Thorax not longer than broad, 
conic; sides straight, converging from base to apex, rugose-punctate, the lateral margin, 
together with a narrow discoidal vitta, rufo-piceous. Elytra subelongate, parallel,
